With the business of football at a complete halt, players on
the Green Bay Packers aren't even able to get the rings they
earned when they beat the Pittsburgh Steelers in Super Bowl XLV,
according to the New York Times.

Players are traditionally presented the rings at a ceremony in
June, but Packers executives and coaches are the ones that have
to order the rings, and they're
not allowed to contact the players to discuss the design
because of the lockout. The NFL hasn't done anything yet to
facilitate the process.

And it's not just the rings. The Packers haven't accepted
President Obama's invitation to the White House yet because none
of the players would be allowed to attend. The players
can't appear at school and charity events either, which are
normally frequent during the off-season. Events hosted by
the team have also been postponed because of the lockout, and
Packers fans have been left hanging throughout the proceedings.

Most of the traditional post- and off-season activities have been
put on hold, which is especially tough on Green Bay since they
are the only public-owned team and those shareholders can't even
enjoy their Super Bowl championship.
